Disappointing<\/h4>\n

No spam filter (there is one, allegedly, but it’s invisible, non-configurable (!), and missing obvious spam words)<\/p>\n

(there are comments on the official forums from 3 years ago saying “we need some basic anti-spam tools” and the author replying with “we’re working on it”)<\/p>\n

Annoying<\/h4>\n

No spam controls for reactive processing (banning users, marking comments as spam, etc).<\/p>\n

Unforgivable<\/h4>\n

Each comment can ONLY be deleted one, by one, by one, requiring 6 mouse clicks per deletion!<\/p>\n

The concept of a list of comments, and a checkbox next to each, and a “delete selected comments” is now well over 10 years old – and it only takes a few minutes to implement with PHP + SQL. If you ever find yourself making a web app for general usage, please don’t forget this core feature :).<\/p>\n
